Legislative measures to curtal the level of foreign student enrollment in Canada was short sighted. Education is one of the more socially desirable sectors an economy can have. It's environmentally clean, provides good jobs, and look at the kind of infrastructure it provides. You get well designed and visually attractive buildings. Unlike some other industries, the number of new build junkers in the education sector of the economy are few and far between. This is the kind of development that should be encouraged rather than discouraged.

It is a two edged sword, unfortunately. Most international students were being funneled through to less than reputable colleges, on top of that, a lot of these students were bringing in their spouses and kids and putting a lot of strain in the job market and public services. I do believe immigration, and education, are the biggest pathways to Canadian long-term success, but we need to go back to the drawing board and have an actual plan to sustain that growth in a way that benefits the immigrants AND the country, and I feel like that is what is behind this reduction.

Curtailment of foreign students was targeted towards those gaming the system and enrolling in strip mall colleges to work low wage jobs, not research university students.

I thought the foreign student policy changed because red necks vote and foreign students don't.
